According to a tweet earlier from Steve Stride, Curcic can be found living rough in Belgrade.
I remember seeing a YouTube video of him dancing and singing in the middle of a busy road, so it's obvious he has some kind of mental illness. It's a shame that its come to this.

One would hope that the former player's association would be trying to assist him in some way.

The last I heard of him was a few years back. Apparently, after appearing on his home countries version of Big Brother, he was planning to start his own religious cult where he fathered all the women's babies. Let's hope he can be helped and hasn't passed the point of no return. I read the other day that Kenny Samson was living rough too and had gone missing. Any news on him yet?

Samson missing was in the Sun? I was listening to Radio 5 y-day and he's not missing he goes to a local centre regularly where they look after him, still not doing great though.

Barking mad he was. Had a lot of ability and could have played at the highest level but his career just imploded when he joined us. All his own doing too. You know he's only 41 too. If he'd have looked after himself and worked hard he could have still been playing as recent as 4-5 years ago, maybe more.
It seems weird too that often players who are naturally gifted seemed to be hampered by mental problems, or just an inability to really put the work in too. Sometimes both.

Didn't he take up a career in 'adult' films?

Great debut at home to Derby. Played well in patches but never ever lived up to potential. I thought he would bring even more out of Savo but it didn't happen.

I had lunch with him once as a friend knew him well. He was a lovely bloke, but mad as a box of frogs. He also hated playing football and only did as he could make money for his family back home. I wish him well as he was a genuinely nice fella.

I remember going to an away game not long after he signed and listening to one of the more knowledgable Radio 5 blokes (Ingham)? saying he was the best signing by any club that summer.

Sorry to hear this. Mental illness is always such a trajedy.

Yes, I remember that report on R5 Percy, and Curcic was some player when his mind was on the job. I suppose you could say the same about Stanloi and Bald Stevie.

I remember just how excited I was when he signed, probably more so than any other player in fact. It really seemed like he was the missing-piece, joining what was a really good team at that point.
When you look back, you do have to feel for Sir Brian His two big signings (Curcic and Collymore) both really failed to live up to their ability, and were ultimately (probably) largely accountable for his downfall as Villa manager.

Had no idea Curcic had fallen so low. Sad to hear.
